[reaction: see text] The dipolar cycloaddition of carbonylylides generated by the rhodium-catalyzed decomposition of delta- and epsilon-carbonyl-alpha-diazoketones with p-quinones leads to both C=O and C=C addition products. The product ratio is solvent- and catalyst-dependent and has been optimized to favor formation of either product. The C=C addition products of naphthoquinones are used in the

The carbenoid intermediate derived by the treatment of several 1-diazobutanediones with rhodium(II) acetate undergoes ready transannular cyclization onto the neighboring keto group to give five-membered ring carbonyl ylides. The dipole derived from ethyl 4-diazo-2-methyl-3-oxobutyrate was found to undergo a rapid proton transfer, producing 5-ethoxy-4-methyl-3-(2H)-furanone. When the position adjacent to the diazo carbonyl group is blocked with two substituent groups, however, smooth 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition occurs. The observed regioselectivity can be nicely accommodated in terms of frontier molecular orbital (FMO) theory. A type II FMO interaction is involved since carbonyl ylides possess one of the smallest HOMO-LUMO energy gaps of common 1,3-dipoles. The rhodium(II)-catalyzed reaction of 1-diazo-6-phenyl-2,6-hexanedione afforded a mixture of products. In addition to the expected cycloadduct, a product derived from the bimolecular addition of the rhodium carbenoid to benzene was obtained. The formation of a mixture of products in this case suggests that entropic factors have sufficiently retarded the rate of intramolecular cyclization so as to allow the bimolecular reaction with benzene to occur. No observable cycloadduct was obtained from the diazohexanedione system, thereby indicating that the longer tether was sufficient to shut down dipole formation.
